Pegging the Finals

SAN ANTONIO — June is still eight months away. Which means it’s the perfect time to look ahead to this season’s Finals.

Yours truly scoured the Internet and/or personally canvassed votes, 34 in all, on who will come away with the 2013-14 championship.

Not surprisingly considering the composition of the participants, the Spurs out-polled the Heat 13-11. It should be noted that 11 of those Spurs votes came from individuals with ties to the city or the team. Take those out of the mix, and the Heat are decided favorites, as is the case with the Vegas bookmakers.

At any rate, file these away for June and we’ll see who was right in the end.
